Chapter Eleven

The party was in full swing now and people were busy dancing and drinking it was great. I was having a great time and so was Arthur, in the last hour five women came to flirt with him and he shut them down every single time. I tried asking him why but he didn't answer me instead changed the topic so i decided to give up.

"And you must be the famous Lola", i tuned around to meet a very good looking man with red eyes? he was tall and not too muscular but enough to make sure that his suit properly fit. "And you are?", asked after realising that he was no threat, at least that was what i hoped. "This is Varick, the Vampire Alpha", Arthur said from behind me. "So how is Victor?", i asked cutting through the awkwardness, he pointed his finger to the dancing floor where Victor was dancing the night away making me laugh. "You know, a woman as strong willed as you deserves nothing less than the world", was he flirting with me? seriously? "And i bet you believe you could give me that huh?", i asked surprising him. A smile reached his face exposing his fang, i was shocked that i was not scared. "May be, May i have this dance?", he asked politely so i accepted. People paved way for us as we went to the center of the dancing floor and we started dancing, he was warm. "Come out with it, i know you want to ask me stuff", he said smiling down at me. "No i don't", i said looking away making him laugh even more. "Fine! why are you so warm and normal", "Whoa! not even the harsh ones like why i drink blood or kill people, ok, i can get used to this, well am one of the oldest vampires in the coven so i can control my urges more and i like being normal", "But you are an Alpha", "Yes so what? I like clubbing and dancing too, i bet i can dance way better than Roman ever could", the image of Roman dancing was terrifying making us both laugh until someone cleared their throat behind Varick. Why did i bother guessing, " Tan", "Varick, may i?", one would think he was being polite but i knew better and reached for him before Varick could get a response. He chuckled and walked away. "What are you doing?", "Dancing with my mate", he answered from the crook of my neck. Everyone was looking at us, it was like they had frozen. "I know that but we were not supposed to be seen together. Baby come on your complicating things, you don't want a repeat of Andra do you?", that made his body tense but he didn't stop dancing. "You look amazing Cute face", now that was a great comeback from the awkwardness, i smiled and decided to play along, "Thank you, my boyfriend got it for me, i think he deserves a reward don't you", the growl i received showed me that it was a yes so i decided to do the one thing that i never did in public and that was show my affection to him, i bit his chin. It was a small gesture but he knew what it meant and held me tighter.

When the song ended he walked me back to the bar and did the same scanning that Arthur did then ordered a martini for me. "I must say you look very handsome in your uniform Baby", it was not my ammo but i knew the Vampire women were drooling at him and they were next to us so i had to mark my territory, and as usual he red me like an open book, then smirked with his eyes turning gold. "Cute face you know am yours no need to mark your territory", he whispered and by now am very sure i was blushing like an idiot. "Look, i like it when you are possessive so don't stop on my account", and that was all i needed to pull him in for a kiss, he responded immediately making me moan, a growl escaped him and his eyes went foggy, a minute later Arthur appeared and he pulled away from me making me whimper. He adjusted his uniform and turned to Arthur with a serious face, "Don't let them anywhere near her again", he instructed. "I am right here you know", i said annoyed by the fact that they were pretending like am not there. His amazing eyes met mine with a look of amusement, "i know Cute face", he said then kissed the top of my head then returned to his post, next to the King, i didn't miss the smirk that appeared on Roman's face.

I was finally home, it was close to three in the morning i willed myself to get cleaned up then got to bed. I tried sleeping but it was just not happening, then i though of what my scent usually did to Tan and decided it was worth a try, i went to our closet and took one of his t-shirt the moment i put it on my nose and sniffed my body felt so good and relaxed so i removed my pajamas and wore his t-shirt only then returned to bed. Tan entered an hour later and knowing that he was back made feel at peace, i could finally sleep. "Hey Baby", i greeted him as i watched him take off his coat. He looked like he was startled and recovered quickly making me smile, i had finally surprised Stealth hah! "Cute face? why are you still up?", he walked closer to the bed and started removing his watch and cufflinks placing them on the bed corner stand, he looked tired. "I was waiting for you besides the bed is cold and i need my heater", i said in the middle of closing my eyes with my hands reaching out to him like a kid asking to be picked up. I heard a soft laugh just as his side of the bed dipped, i made sure to move closer to his warmth.
